In the past,Black Veil Brides’ impressive string of awards show victories has stirred up much debate about the band and the voting zealots of the BVB Army. In short, the BVB Army shows up for their band when it's time to vote. So it was only fitting that BVB would take home the APMA for Most Dedicated Fans. But frontman Andy Biersack didn’t exactly have plans of taking the award home.

Biersack commended the band’s fans in his acceptance speech: “I know that we are not always the most popular band to everyone, but to our fanbase, they have given us a chance to have a career, you’ve given us a chance to do anything—you’ve given me a chance to stand on this stage. So thank you so much to the BVB Army.”

After accepting the award, the “In The End” singer did something rather surprising: He handed the award to a (seemingly random pick) BVB fan in the audience. “Now, this is a fanbase award,” he says, “therefore, I feel that I should not be holding this. So I’d like to give this to one of you who’s a Black Veil Brides fan.”

Black Veil Brides will release their fourth studio album on October 28.
